How funny that Lamberts blog last week generated a complaint from within the Red Tory ranks that it was ‘uncomradely’ (whatever that’s supposed to mean). Ironic that usually he’s trying to prove that nothing is ever the fault of socialists, even when they’ve been running things for years.Of course, last week he blathered on about wealthy farmers being upset about the budget, which really has very little relevance to this part of London. His land assertions that everybody he spoke to about the tax hikes were unconcerned sounds hollow, especially as plenty of employers have publicly stated that it will negatively impact business and jobs. That will include Brentford, despite what Guy says.Lambert is right to be sceptical about the new Waterman’s, but then he should perhaps have been more critical when he had a cost seat on the board of trustees, rather than be complicit in the running down of the venue. Most of us have been scriptural about everything promised in Brentford and elsewhere. Rightly so, it seems.
